The week's mileage impresses even myself as it ended up much higher than scheduled. One reason is that weather on Lanzarote is too cold and windy to do really long cycling days. So we prefered to limit it to half day routes and completed the day by easy jogging.

However, running was slow but not really easy on trails that are sandy and hilly here around Munique which is a village amidth the island surrounded by "El Jable", the local desert. I was happy to complete one 20km run and now feel to be prepared for next Sunday's half marathon at Berlin.

It's a reasonable mileage and longest run of 18km makes a step forward although I felt rather tired along the final mile. Counting the week by 7 days from Sunday to Saturday it added up to 62 km! If I will finish London without knee pain I will send a thank-you-letter to the doc.

First target now is to finish Berlin Half - it takes place in two weeks - without any pain and hopefully sub 1:55 hours.

10 days of mixed training on Lanzarote from Monday on. I look forward to finding a sensible balance between cycling and running. And local wine.

It's been a reasonable mileage this week but longest run was still only 14km. However, I am within plans as schedule is not to do more than 3 runs of more than 20km. Still time to get ready for a really slow marathon on April 24th.

If I ever do another marathon in Japan I would do the Kyoto Marathon which regularly is hold one week before the Tokyo Marathon. Kyoto is a town full of tourist attractions and offers still lots of traditional Japanese atmosphere:
